personally i'd say just transplant it carefully and you will be fine. if you are afraid of stressing it i wouldnt be worried as you are still in the early stages of flower and if anything it might just stunt the over all growth spurt. |
cut the stress theory here, replanting it to now soil to root in decreases the stress one plant has. If replanting would be such a risk how could a plant then survive the trimming of the rootball? That is no problem, actually forces the plant to a better usage of the provided soil, more roots are grown, more foliage is supported in the later stage. and i replanted also in late into flower already, it brings little effect on the end yield compared to a plant grown in the original small volume as the roots don't grow too much in that stage anymore as it seems, so little to no advantage.
